They didn't have plastic hundreds of years ago but they did have materials that could hold their shape like plastic. Let's make a powder horn from a cow horn!

Minimum requirements:
- Make a powder horn from cow horn
- Smooth and polished
- Including mounting attachment points and a strap
- You don't need to make the strap
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The horn you're starting with
- The powder horn midway through construction
- The finished powder horn with strap attached
- Show the small plug removed and some sort of powder pouring out of the powder horn
